Yes, you can use your parents' salary slips or business Income Tax Returns (ITRs) as part of your financial proof for a UK student visa, but only when combined with other required documents.

To use your parents' financial support, you must also provide:
- A letter from your parents stating they will support you financially and consent to their funds being used for your visa.
- Your birth certificate to prove your relationship with your parents.

Note: UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires the actual funds to be in a personal bank account (not a business account) in your or your parents' names, held for at least 28 consecutive days before your application. Salary slips or ITRs alone are not sufficient - they support but do not replace the need for bank statements.

If you need help preparing these documents, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
